The name NEKTON-TONIC covers 4 highly potent tonics,
specifically balanced and blended to meet the nutritional needs
of various types of birds and special types of reptiles.
NEKTON-TONIC-F for fruit-eating birds NEKTON-TONIC-Ifor insect-eating birds NEKTON-TONIC-K for seed-eating birds
NEKTON-TONIC-R for nectar and fruit-feeding reptiles
NEKTON-TONIC in all its forms is extremely valuable as an
additive because it increases the nutritional value of usual animal
diets considerably.
NEKTON-TONIC-F has been formulated according the latest
results of scientific research and is suited to the dietary
requirements of fruit-eating birds.
To be of any value to the body, a tonic must enter the blood
stream and be distributed to all the living regions fast. By adding
NEKTON-TONIC-F as a supplement you not only increase the
nutritive value of the food but also provide a bird with all the
necessary nutrients and effective substances without putting
too much strain on the digestive organs.
This makes NEKTON-TONIC-F particularly valuable during such
stress periods as illness, moulting, nesting, re-caging and
acclimation, and has proved an excellent help in raising young
animals. And you can use NEKTON-TONIC-F to get your bird
in prime condition before shows or just to help it get over a show.
NEKTON-TONIC-F consists of more than 60 individual
substances which, when put together, result in a particularly
well-balanced tonic and dietary supplement.
NEKTON-TONIC-F contains:
CARBOHYDRATES to give the basal metabolism added energy
and boost activity.
PROTEINS made out of the same vegetable matter the bird’s
organism is used to in its natural surroundings. In addition, 18
pure amino acids have been added to increase the nutritive
value of the tonic impressively.
ESSENTIAL FATTY ACIDS, which a bird’s organism definitely
needs and which help prevent illnesses due to deficiencies.
VITAMINS AND PROVITAMINS, which are vital organic
substances that must be present in a bird’s diet if serious and
irremediable illnesses are to be avoided.
MINERALS AND TRACE ELEMENTS. Even if a bird does not
receive a sufficient supply of these vital substances regularly,
its organism constantly secretes them all, so that any tonic has
to have a high content of minerals and trace elements if it is to
have any far-reaching effect. In this respect you can rely on
NEKTON-TONIC-F completely.
However, the value of this first-class tonic does not lie alone in
the presence of all these essential components, but above all
in their balance. NEKTON-TONIC-F with its well-balanced
composition of just the right components guarantees you the
perfect tonic for your kind of bird.
USAGE:
NEKTON-TONIC-F is water soluble in powder form. Given two
or three times a week either in water or over soft food in addition
to the drinking water, it helps prevent all those illnesses due to
deficiencies. In times of stress it is advisable to add daily to
counteract the effects of the moult, re-caging, shows or
acclimation.
AS LIQUID ADDITIVE TO DIET
Dissolve 20 ml = 10 g NEKTON-TONIC-F in 100 ml water (or
1 part TONIC-F to approx. 3 1/3 parts water to make a slurry)
and serve in a separate bowl.
When hand-raising young birds the solution can be fed into the
beak by using an eye-dropper or straight into the crop by means
of a tube or needle. As soon as the birds are weaned onto a
spoon, 10 – 15 days old, a certain amount of roughage such as
boiled rice should be added.
The NEKTON-TONIC-F solution should be given in addition to
the drinking water enriched with NEKTON-S. In exceptional
circumstances and for three days at the most, however, the
NEKTON-TONIC solution alone can be given to ensure that the
pet is getting a sufficient amount of TONIC in the particular
stress situation.
If possible, please ensure that the drinking bowl or dispenser
is completely sterile. If you use our disinfecting fluid, DESIPLUS, for feed and drinking dispensers, you have the assurance
that the solution will keep 24 hours. Otherwise only make up
enough solution for 6 – 8 hours need.
ADDED TO FOOD
Sprinkle NEKTON-TONIC-F powder over soft food or fruit. We
recommend approx. 20 ml = 10 g NEKTON-TONIC-F to 100 g
= 3½ oz food. Please make sure your bird has enough NEKTONS-fortified drinking water at hand.
Important
Store in a cool, dark and dry place. In an unopened container
and correctly stored the vitamins in NEKTON-TONIC-F remain
effective until date of expiry, see extra label.
